Does High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) have to be in everything? Not just sodas, but meat products, bread, soups – corn flakes, ketchup, pickles (pickles?? wtf?), applesauce, ice cream, salad dressings . . .
Even Kentucky Fried Chicken has a honey flavored sauce (pictured). Because just plain honey didn’t quite work. It really needed some tinkering.
Here’s some details about what we eat in the United States. And (update!) even more detail here. Powerful lobby them corn people are. Make Soylent Green seem so trite.

Not Ben Franklin
Photographic Quaker Oats advertisement, 1897
I always thought the Quaker Oats guy was Benjamin Franklin.
He actually started as a printer’s cut – clip art, in today’s terms – that was selected to go on the Oats packaging to show ‘purity.’ Quakers always looked pure, let’s sell some oats with that in mind.
Benjamin Franklin was really smart, not quite pure though.
